    A great way to transfer Video8 to digital format.

    The Sony DCR-TRV480 is the last device that Sony produced that would play back analog Video8 tapes. It was released in 2005 and natively supports Digital8 tapes to record and also recording to Sony Memory Stick Pro up to 2GB. The best part about this device is that you can connect it to a modern MacBook with Thunderbolt to FireWire to convert old tapes. The only catch is you have to run Monterey 12.2.1 or lower and depending on your MacBook, you will need either 2 or 3 cables to connect everything properly. The unit I found on eBay was in near perfect condition and there are several others out there. If you have Video8 or Hi8 tapes and need to convert them to digital, this is the perfect device for it. You can also keep the camera as a backup device and record straight to memory stick.

    Best of the digital Hi-8 camcorder

    I have owned a Sony DCR-TRV460 digital Hi-8 camcorder for years and it is still works flawlessly. I must have a hundred or more recorded tapes of family events and vacations. I have been wanting to transfer all of them to DVD but have not found the time to do so. I fear that if my TRV-460 should fail, I had better have a backup camera to play my tapes. Having it repaired would most likely cost more that buying a used one, and with my past experience on having electronic equipment repaired, it still would not be right. Sure enough, I found Sony's latest and last digital DCR-TRV480 for a great price. To my surprise it is in almost in new condition. I do have a newer Sony HDR-CX380 digital camera (does not use tape) but I still like the TRV-460/480 better. To my surprise, I was in Walmart ...

    Fits my purpose quite well.

    For my own enjoyment, I video airshows. The vast majority of these events are during daylight hours. This almost makes a viewfinder an absolute necessity. By adding an eyecup to the viewfinder of the TRV480, I have a nice setup for recording airshows. The camcorder is a bit heavier than I would like, but it is better than my previous viewfinder-equipped camcorder, a lightweight Sony TRV33, in terms of zoom and controls. I easily transfer the tapes for this camcorder onto DVDs. I own 2 TRV480 camcorders as I plan to be taping airshows for many years.

    One of my best purchases on eBay!

    I bought this Camcorder to play back all my Hi8 videos I had recorded in the past and to transfer them to DVD. My original Hi8 Camera no longer worked, so I bought this to do that job. However, I am now using this camera to record video again! Great purchase!
